Astronomers have found evidence of a violent collision between two exoplanets orbiting the distant star Gaia20ehk. This rare event mirrors the cataclysm that created Earth's moon.

While the tweet that claimed NASA had discovered a nearby Earth-like exoplanet that rains lava at night was unfortunately proven false that, they did indeed dis ...

Astronomers have collected evidence of a violent collision between two planets in a distant star system. The first clues of this cataclysmic event came when a rather boring star began behaving very ...

They were too big and too far away to exist by the rules. Now, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has finally cracked the chemical code of these distant ...

(via Big Think) Astrophysicist and planetary scientist Sara Seager explores the search for Planet B, a true Earth-like exoplanet with continents, oceans, sunlight, and a thin atmosphere capable of ...

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder ...

Up until now, exoplanet surveys have mostly focused on nearby, bright stars that are sun-like or are red dwarfs, which are known to frequently host planets. While astronomers have discovered thousands ...

Sixty-six light-years away, an Earth-sized exoplanet completes an orbit in under six hours, skimming around its star at ...

It provides a dynamic, time-resolved view of planetary transformation, a missing link between young inflated worlds and the compact sub-Neptunes that populate the galaxy.

NASA researchers explore a hybrid observatory using a space-based starshade and ground telescopes to improve direct imaging and detect hidden Earth-like exoplanets.
